AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for Wanneroo for the question. Mr Birney interjected. Mrs ROBERTS: The member for Kalgoorlie is incorrect. That seems to be the way of things with him; he is incorrect in most of his assertions. I am pleased to be able to report to the House that last week the Police Service inducted 19 new recruits as Aboriginal police liaison officers. Nine of the 19 new APLOs are women, which is a great achievement. Currently, 104 APLOs are located throughout the State, but the Government’s initiative for a further 10 new positions has been created this financial year. Mr Birney interjected. Mrs ROBERTS: If the member for Kalgoorlie wants to ask a question, I suggest he wait until it is his turn. Mr Birney interjected. Mrs ROBERTS: It is a clear cut answer; that is usually what the member for Kalgoorlie says. The 10 new positions have been created in both metropolitan and regional areas of the State. Boosting the number of APLOs in this State is part of the Government’s commitment to statewide crime prevention. In fact, it complements this Government’s recruitment of an additional 250 police over four years. APLOs do a tremendous job, sometimes under very difficult circumstances. Areas that will benefit from this Government’s initiative include Mt Barker, Mandurah, Yalgoo, Pinjarra, Joondalup, Midland and Mirrabooka. I am sure all members in this place will join me in wishing these new recruits well in their new positions.
